But I must clean it up keerfully and burn it, that the birds mayn't git hold of it and give you the headache." The Deacon had his little superstitions, like a great many other hard-headed, sensible men. "Well, Mr. Klegg," said the Surgeon, when he made his next round, "I must congratulate you on your patients. Both show a remarkable improvement.
"Great Jehosephat," exploded Shorty; "you kin certainly be the stubbornest mule over nothin', Si Klegg, that I ever seen. We've done fightin' enough to excuse sich a report, or any that we've a mind to make." "Nothin' kin justify a lie," persisted the obdurate Si.
